Grated Egg Avocado Toast
You've probably seen this one making the rounds online, and for good reason! This isn't just any old avocado toast. We're talking about u003cstrongu003eGrated Egg Avocado Toastu003c/strongu003e, a simple twist that completely changes the game. By grating a hard-boiled egg over creamy avocado, you get this incredibly light, fluffy, and almost cloud-like texture that’s just... well, you have to try it. It’s a super satisfying breakfast or lunch that feels a little bit fancy, but is ridiculously easy to whip up. Ready to see what all the fuss is about?
Ingredients
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough is amazing for this!)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chilled
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (I love Japanese mayo like Kewpie, but any will do!)
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, fresh chives, or a drizzle of hot sauce. Go wild!
Instructions
- Toast it up! First things first, get your bread nice and toasted. You want it golden brown and sturdy enough to hold all that deliciousness without getting soggy.
- Smash the avocado. While the bread is toasting, scoop the avocado into a small bowl. Add a little squeeze of lemon juice (this keeps it from turning brown), a pinch of salt, and some pepper. Give it a good mash with a fork. I like mine a little chunky, but you do you!
- The magic step... grating! Now for the fun part. Grab your hard-boiled eggs and a microplane or the small side of a box grater. Gently grate the eggs. You'll see them turn into these light, fluffy little shreds. It’s so satisfying!
- Assemble your masterpiece. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over your warm toast. Now, take a moment to appreciate your work.
- Top it off. Pile that beautiful grated egg right on top of the avocado. Don't be shy! Sprinkle with a little more salt, pepper, and any of your other favorite toppings. I'm a big fan of a dash of red pepper flakes for a little kick. Serve immediately and enjoy the heck out of it!
